It’s Tuesday… and time to share our Pinterest Challenge project!
This time around, I made curtains for our bedroom!
I bought the fabric from fabric.com with a 20% off coupon.
I sewed four 96″ long curtain panels, leaving a 3″ seam at the bottom and a 4″ seam at the top. Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of the process because my SD card fell into a black hole located somewhere between the bedroom and the front door and has yet to be recovered. When it is, I’ll show you the exact sewing process.
To hang the curtains, I used House of Hepworth’s Faux Pinch Pleat method that I’d pinned a while back. It was so easy!
There’s seven clips on each curtain panel. I’m going to add four more to each for a total of eleven clips each.
Even without enough rings though, I LOVE the look of these curtains. They really make our room feel that much closer to being finished!
I’m also going to move the clip farther down the upper hem so that the curtains are taller. I’d measured them so that they’d be exactly floor length, but where I have them clipped now they’re more of a breaking length.
And what’s any blog photo shoot with out a little cat photo bombing? Fievel tries to be in every photo and really loves the new throw at the foot of the bed.
To see what we’ve made for previous Pinterest Challenges, check here, here, here, and here.
What did you make for the Pinterest Challenge? Have you ever used clip curtain rings before? Does your cat photobomb blog photos, too?
The curtains look great! I just bought a similar fabric to make a pin board with. I love how your bedroom is coming together!
Thanks! It’s such a gorgeous print!
We’ve still got a good bit to do, but it finally feels more done than not.
I love them! I should learn how to sew. That fake pinch pleat looks great.
These were about the easiest thing to sew in the world! Just four straight stitches along each side and you have perfect curtains.
These are so lovely! They make the windows look so elegant! The fabric is gorgeous.
I finally made a cushion cover for my pinterest challenge!
Aw, thanks!
I can’t wait to see your project!
They turned out great!
Thanks! Your tutorial helped out so much!
Turned out great! xo Kristin
Aw, thanks Kristin!
Looks great! Love the color. And that is one handsome cat.
He is pretty dapper, isn’t he? It’s the chic gray tuxedo.
What a pretty room! I’m so glad to see that fabric made up, it’s a much larger scale than I thought from always seeing it on fabric.com. Fantastic!
Thanks Jennifer!
I was surprised by the scale, too, even though they have the little ruler there at the bottom to show you. I love it though!
Your curtains are awesome, but I love the kitty the best! What a show stealer. 🙂
He is, isn’t he? You can count on him to be in the middle of everything going on at the Little House!
They look great! I love how the room is coming together.
Thanks! I can’t wait for it to be finished so we can start on some other room!
I LOVE your curtains! They look fabulous! Your room is looking great – so elegant and cheery. The faux- box pleat is genius! might have to try that sometime!
Thanks! I can’t take credit for the idea, but it really works great!
I found you on the Pinterest challenge and love this. I have curtain already hanging with these hooks, I should totally try this. I can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before. So cool.

Thanks, Lois! It was so easy; you should try it!
The curtains are beautiful! I love the red with your bedroom color. Our bedroom is similar in color but we are going with turquoise and yellow for the accent colors. Red gives it such a fresh look though.
Thanks Krystle! I’m in love with the coral!
Turquoise and yellow will look gorgeous!
They look great!
Thanks Bekah! I’m in love with them!
These look fabulous Jess! I absolutely love them!
Thanks Ashley! I was so worried they wouldn’t turn out.
I love this! It really adds a pop to your new bedroom!
Thanks Amanda! It really breaks up all the white.

They look awesome, good job!
Thanks! I’m kinda proud of them!
Your curtains are so pretty! I never realized you could “fake pinch” a pleat. Thanks for sharing; I might go try this!
It’s so easy and makes them look professionally made!
These look amazing! I really love the fabric you used 🙂
Thanks! It was from fabric.com with a coupon code for 20% off!
Hi! I always notice your comments on YHL and but never remember to click over to your blog when I get home. But your curtains brought me here! So glad, they look lovely and I’m sucker for a blogger who has a cat photo bomber!
Aw, thanks Crystal! I’m so glad you came by!
And there’s plenty more cat photobombing where that came from!
